# Ukraine significantly reduced its share in the EU's total imports of sunflower and rapeseed meal

> Argentina supplied 49% of EU sunflower meal imports in July-August 2025, while Ukraine's share fell to 40%. Ukrainian sunflower meal exports to the EU in August were only about 20,000-25,000 tons, the lowest since October 2021. The drop reflected slower summer sunflower processing in Ukraine and seasonally high rapeseed meal supply in Europe.

## Why it matters

Lower Ukrainian meal availability tightens the EU protein supply and shifts import demand toward Argentina. That supports sunflower meal prices while Argentine supply is elevated.
